my first board design: modifying Andy Gere's waveyarder
« on: May 01, 2011, 11:04:35 AM »
Hi there,
this week I want to start building my first SUP (just as a building excercise).

To start with I've copied Andy Gere's design and started adjusting his board for a flat water use (thanks a lot to Andy for suggesting some changes!).

I'm still learning how to use Aku Shaper (I'm used to Maxsurf), and I'm trying to keep the number of control points to a minimum. But I can't get the nose to look nice.

Would anyone have a look and see if you can tell me what I could do?

BTW, these are Andy's comments about modifying his board:
I'd scale the tail rocker back to about an inch. On the nose, I'd extend the near flat farther forward, and finish up with around 3.5" overall for nose rocker. These dimensions are strictly for flatwater. Also, a single longboard fin box is all you need, forget about the sidebites, they will just add drag



PS: I can't attach AS files, so I just modified the extension of the file to .pdf, you need to change it back to .brd to use it with AS.

PS: this week I intend to build the board, I'll post the pics
